Their ripple shows negligible near-field degradation. If the aperture distribution is complex, however, the ripple and sidelobe levels show previously unreported degradation behavior, including a lowering of the first sidelobe level.engAntenna radiation patternsLinear antenna arraysShaped beam antennasjournal articleopen access10.1109/MAP.2003.1189654
